All week we’ve heard that Robert Woods will be good to go for Sunday’s game against the Seahawks. He’s said it, Sean McVay has said it and it’s almost certain to happen.

Woods returned to practice as a full participant Thursday since injuring his shoulder against the Vikings. That’s a great sign for his availability this week and almost guarantees he’ll be on the field in Seattle, barring a setback.

“He’s good,” McVay said. “He was out there moving around today and he seems like he’s going to be good to go for the game, so it’s good to have Robert back out there for us.”

Andrew Whitworth was a non-participant again on Thursday with a knee injury, but McVay said “he should be” ready for Sunday’s game against the Seahawks. The Rams need him arguably more than anyone, particularly against Seattle’s aggressive defensive front.

“We want to be extra smart with him just with the knee, but he was able to come back in the game,” McVay said. “And typically, what we’ve done over the last couple weeks is kind of have him do some stuff with our strength and conditioning, he gets the mental work in the walk-thrus and then on Friday is when he kind of gets going a little bit.”

In Seattle, there’s a lot of uncertainty and concern. Michael Bennett, K.J. Wright and Bobby Wagner remained out with various injuries, bringing into question whether they’ll be able to play against the Rams.

Furthermore, Earl Thomas was added to the injury report with a heel issue and was listed as a non-participant. Jimmy Graham also went from limited Wednesday to DNP Thursday, which isn’t a good sign for his availability. Left tackle Duane Brown was a non-participant for the Seahawks’ second practice, too.
